I have at least four forests of college pamphlets and large information packets associated with the them. I threw the ones that are out-of-state out, I don't intend on going to a college outside of my state's system (I'm in Wisconsin, lucky me). The tuition for each school, thats in state, look good to me (5-18 grand) but my biggest worry is my education. My hopes were reliant on a fact that my High School Counciler told me: "Every college within the UW system equilibrates it's workload and is enforced by the state authority". I found out that his statement was false, the truth is other schools have better classes and better benefits (the ones that are prestigious and competitive) that other schools can't really beat. Tuition is not a problem and the location issue is settled, but I am very (I will stress the "very") worried about my education.
There are several things I can learn before I even go to school, such as modding video games and understanding C+ programming on Operation Flashpoint (or even in general, that is if I get an instructional book from the library). I am looking into the field of video game designing; I like drawing (although I don't do it as much as I would like to), and I love video games because it is what I do most of the time and creating them would give me tremendous pleasure. I know that field is extremely competitive but a participant who is willing to learn beyond the limit of college has the upper hand in the industry (I believe, please tell me if this statement is a hit or miss). Education is important but so is the job placement privilege that a college gives to it's students.
I want a college that offers both good education and a promising job placement privilege. I don't know if such a college exists but if any Anandtech members are a part of such a college or even has knowledge of one, it would be surely appreciated if you shared your thoughts about the subject. I'm open for opinions and suggests as well. Thanks alot for reading and even more for contributing .
